You know, we've been talking about having something like this for a while.

The issue is, this works, I think quite well for a remote team, but
for a co-located team like ours, no so much. This is because we keep

of Friday.

scotttorra...@hotmail.com (Scott Torrance) — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:24:23 UT

Thanks for your comment David,
Does anyone have any better suggestions than Google+? I have had a quick look on Udacity and it doesn't appear as if there is any group tools beyond the forums.
I see there are 9 sessions, there is usually one a week but I'm not sure for certain with this yin.

How do people see the study groups working, shall we keep the structure very loose in the beginning and just see how it progresses/develops? I think it would be great to work through some real life examples of the topics we are learning and hopefully help start-ups through some problems they may be having at the same time.

I'm working on adding payments to my app.

I noticed that a lot of US sites now use javascript to post credit card details directly to the payment provider, so that the details never touch their servers. I haven't looked into it much but I think this is because you need some kind of regulatory compliance certification to be allowed to in the US.

I think it is a good idea to give people two options as I agree with Rachel that the virtual option will have a better chance of keeping the momentum. Personally, my preference would be leaning towards the in-person sessions.
Let's see what everyone thinks.
I'll put the word out on social medja and see if there's any more interest.
